INTRODUCTION

Beal House, originally built as the dower house for the Gautby Estate, is a majestic Grade II listed country manor house dating back to the late 18th century. Nestled away and surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside the property offers privacy, views, character, tranquility and superb living space.

The ground floor has beautifully proportioned reception rooms that can be used daily or for the more formal occasions. The heart of the house is the phenomenal farmhouse kitchen with high ceiling, featured stonework and two working AGAs (one 2 oven electric, and one 4 oven oil). There is also a useful pantry off the kitchen, as well as a cellar. The main reception rooms are made up of a beautiful drawing room with open fire which leads into a large orangery. This is ideal for entertaining especially in the summer months as it leads into the garden and on to the terrace. However, there is underfloor heating in the orangery so it can be used all year around. To the other side of the hallway is the dining room which also has an open fire and is extremely spacious, as well as a lovely family room for everyday ‘chilling’!

The ‘working end’ of the house is well set up, with rear entrance leading into a boot room, a wc, cloakroom and shower (useful for dogs!) as well as a large utility and laundry – with access to a side courtyard. There is also a gun room / store at this end of the house.

The grand, hand-crafted staircase leads to three of the eight bedrooms the property has to offer. The principal bedroom is spacious with a large sash window making the most of wonderful views over to the Yorkshire Dales. To the rear of this is a very comfortable ensuite bathroom/dressing room with freestanding bath along with built in wardrobe storage space and shutters. The guest bedroom and bathroom overlook the rear of the property and the current owners have made the remaining bedroom into a beautiful library and study for themselves. The second floor has five further double bedrooms and an additional bathroom. This is used as the ‘children’s floor’ where they have two large bedrooms with newly fitted shutters, a playroom and a study room. The remaining room is used as a store.

Externally, Beal House has fantastic gardens and grounds which include a fantastic vegetable garden with raised beds, an orchard, two ponds, manicured lawns and pretty woodland. The front garden has feature cascading steps leading down into the lawned area making the most of the views towards the Yorkshire Dales. The side of the house has an established walled garden with a large terrace area, perfect for alfresco entertaining.

This is a magnificent house that is an idyllic family home with plenty of space, beautiful gardens and grounds in this convenient and very private location in North Yorkshire.
